Ghee is the Sanskrit word for clarified butter. In a process using heat to separate out the solids, butter is further purified into ghee. This nutty and butter-like substance is great for cooking as it aids digestion, often used in natural medicine to treat constipation and ulcers. A good vegan substitute for ghee is organic coconut oil.
Ghee Milk may sound like a strange idea, but it can work wonders for stress reduction, anxiety and insomnia. Next time you’re struggling to fall asleep, make a glass of Ghee Milk and sip it an hour before heading off to bed.
In a glass of organic rice, coconut, hemp or almond milk:
- Add 1 tsp organic Ghee or organic coconut oil
- Add ¼ tsp each of coriander, cumin, and cardamom
(These can be purchased in most health food stores, or Indian spice shops.) - Simmer until warm and drink before bed.
It’s delicious! Enjoy.
